Stay, if you plase, Mister Mordicai, till Lady-day, when it becomes due: in the mean time, I have a handful, or rather an armful, of bank-notes for you, from my Lord Colambre." "Humph." said Mordicai: "how's that? he'll not be of age these three days." "Don't matter for that: he has sent me to look over your accounts, and to hope that you will make some small ABATEMENT in the total."
Lord Colambre recollecting that he had no right, in his pride, to ding away his friend's money, let Mr. Mordicai look at the account; and, his impetuous temper in a few moments recovered by good sense, he considered that, as his person was utterly unknown to Mr.
Lord Colambre repeated the substance of what Mordicai had said, and Lord Clonbrony reiterated 'Damned rascal! damned rascal! I'll get out of his hands; I'll have no more to do with him. But, as he spoke, he exhibited evident symptoms of uneasiness, moving continually, and shifting from leg to leg like a foundered horse.
So there's no prior creditor, or any shield of pretence that way. Then his execution was coming down upon us, and nothing to stay it till I thought of a monthly annuity to Mordicai, in the shape of a wager. So, the morning after he cast us, I went to him: "Mr.

Sir Terence, pleased with his commission, immediately went to Mordicai. 'Well, Sir Terence, said Mordicai, 'I hope you are come to pay me my hundred guineas; for Miss Broadhurst is married! 'Well, Mister Mordicai, what then? The ides of March are come, but not gone!
'Never fear! said Sir Terence: 'Haven't I been at my wits' ends for myself or my friends ever since I come to man's estate to years of discretion, I should say, for the deuce a foot of estate have I! But use has sharpened my wits pretty well for your service; so never be in dread, my good lord for look ye! cried the reckless knight, sticking his arms akimbo 'look ye here! in Sir Terence O'Fay stands a host that desires no better than to encounter, single witted, all the duns in the united kingdoms, Mordicai the Jew inclusive.
Mordicai coolly answered that he was well aware of that; but that the estate could afford to dip further; that, for his part, he was under no apprehension; he knew how to look sharp, and to bite before he was bit. 'Will you be so good, sir, to finish making out this estimate for me? interrupted Lord Colambre. 'Immediately, sir. Sixty-nine pound four, and the perch. Let us see Mr.
Berryl, it is quite a voluntary act, take notice, on your part; sign or not, witness or not, as you please, gentlemen, said Mordicai, sticking his hands in his pockets, and recovering his look of black and fixed determination. 'Witness it, witness it, my dear lord, said Mr. Berryl, looking at his mother and weeping sisters; 'witness it, quick! 'Mr.

Mordicai ran downstairs; Lord Colambre, before he went back into the room, waited to see Mordicai and his bailiff out of the house. When Mordicai was fairly at the bottom of the stairs, he turned, and, white with rage, looked up at Lord Colambre.
